11. What is your MT4 Forced Liquidation Policy?

If the Margin Level in your trading account drops below a predetermined level set by us (e.g. below 50%) or if AETOS exercises its absolute discretion, then a red warning signal will appear on your MT4 terminal.

If the Margin Level in your trading account drops below a predetermined level set by us (e.g. 30% of Initial Margin, or 0.3% of the notional contract amount), then a red warning signal will appear on your MT4 terminal. Alternatively, if AETOS exercises its discretion, then it is entitled to close out your position at a prevailing market rate without notice to you. AETOS could do this in order to minimise trading risk and deduct the resulting realised loss from your remaining funds held by us. You will remain liable for any negative balance which cannot be covered by the closing out of your positions. Please refer to our Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
